The Covid-19 definitely does not spare the posters between OL and PSG. Less than three weeks after the postponement of the “final” of D1 in Lyon, due to three positive cases on the Paris side, this time it is the quarter-final return of the Champions League between the two rival clubs, scheduled for Wednesday (6.30 p.m. ), which has just been officially postponed. UEFA indeed indicates on Tuesday morning on its website that this match is postponed, as OL requested the night before.
After having already detected two positive cases for the coronavirus on Friday, the Lyon club has published a press release to reveal the presence of four other positive cases in the tests carried out on Monday. According to The team, five players, namely Wendie Renard, Amel Majri, Delphine Cascarino, Janice Cayman and Griedge Mbock would be affected by Covid-19, as would a member of the medical staff.
While OL won (0-1) last week at the Parc des Princes, this return quarter-final will probably be postponed for a fortnight, with an international truce now looming from April 5 to 14. No date has yet been officially communicated either concerning the D1 match, decisive for the title of champion of France.
